Innovative laparoscopic technique for #ENZIAN C3 intestinal endometriotic nodule and concurrent uterine fibroids: NOSES.

BACKGROUND

Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is a severe condition which requires innovative surgical approaches to address complex anatomical distortions, reduce operative risks, and enhance outcomes.

OBJECTIVES

To demonstrate the effectiveness of integrating three advanced surgical techniques-reverse laparoscopic technique, natural orifice specimen extraction surgery (NOSES), and advanced intraoperative bleeding control strategies-in managing a complex case of DIE.

PARTICIPANT: A 29-year-old nulligravida patient presented with hypermenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, urinary symptoms, and bowel dysfunction. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 3.3 cm #ENZIAN C3 intestinal nodule, bilateral ovarian endometriomas and multiple uterine fibroids.

INTERVENTION: Advanced techniques reverse laparoscopic technique, associated with intraoperative bleeding control strategies such as vasopressin injection, temporary ligation of uterine arteries, and infundibulopelvic ligaments; combined with NOSES for specimen extraction. Patient included in this video gave consent for the publication of this video article and its online posting, including social media, journal's website, scientific literature websites, and other applicable sites. Operative time, estimated blood loss, preservation of anatomical structures, postoperative recovery time, symptom resolution, and complications were assessed. Surgery was completed in 180 minutes, with minimal blood loss (40 cc). The patient tolerated a general anti-inflammatory diet by postoperative day two and was discharged without complications. One month postoperatively, the patient showed significant symptom improvement.

CONCLUSIONS

The combination of different techniques in the same surgery can clearly lead to favourable results and outcomes, ensuring optimal recovery with superior cosmetic and functional outcomes, particularly in fertility-preserving surgeries.

WHAT IS NEW?: The combination of NOSES, the reverse laparoscopic technique, and advanced bleeding control strategies ensures optimal management for complex procedures in DIE surgeries with fertility preservation.
